AVR Microcontrollers for Industrial Motor Control Applications with CAN and LIN Connectivity

The ATmega16M1, ATmega32M1, and ATmega64M1 have been developed to serve the need for high accuracy Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) for advanced motor control applications with CAN and LIN connectivity.

The new family of devices feature 16, 32, and 64 KB of Flash, general purpose IO pins, analog to digital converter,analog comparators, Power Stage Controller, and 8- and 16-bit timers. This feature set makes the microcontrollers a perfect fit for industrial control applications where CAN and LIN is needed.

Based on the high performance AVR 8-bit RISC architecture, the ATmega16M1, ATmega32M1, and ATmega64M1, integrate all of the basic peripherals necessary to satisfy the needs of complex motor control algorithms. The devices offer a unique feature combination to safely and securely run any brushless DC motor via the appropriate driver and power elements with a minimum of external components. The integrated Power Stage Controller and analog functions generate a limited number of interrupts, reducing the code size and improving the real-time behavior of the applications.
